Interesting observation ! Might it be because Tesco and Costa resemble ordinary names, and therefore easily appear in a possessive form ?

Or it might be about imaginary hierarchy. There could only be one actual duly-anointed king of burgers, but if one were to use the definite article to mark this, saying "I am going to the Burger King's", it would imply firstly that the king of burgers does actually exist, and possibly also secondly that he has but one solitary burger outlet.

A grammatical construction not quite so jarring when used with (say) "Tesco".

I think what you're getting at - and which is the critical thing that seems to keep getting forgotten is the critical situation of the hostages. Everything from both sides is rotating around the hostages and we are still not yet in a classical war so much as an extreme hostage negotiation with many layers of force including jets, tanks, and infantry driving the negotiations.

Yeah, I have to wonder how it compares to pumped hydro operationally too. They talk about capital costs but didn't explore what opex would be like at all. I would think with heat, air and water (as opposed to water in pumped hydro), maintenance and operations will be more expensive.

Oh, and if you perhaps think that maybe corporate speech shouldn’t be limited: for an extreme example, while personally lying is protected speech, do you think that businesses should be able to lie in advertising or in-store displays about the price, quality, or terms of the items they sell?

I’m pretty much a “free speech absolutist” but if businesses are allowed the same freedom of expression as individuals, our modern system of commerce would break down because it would become game-theory-optimal to lie constantly, much in the way that has already happened in politics.

Volksverpetzer is heavily funded by government funded NGOs. I have yet so see an example of journalistic vigor on VP. A lot of their sources lead to publications with similar financial dependencies.

"transparently" or "allegedly and repeatedly" ? People have been protesting precisely because absolutely no progress have been made towards freeing the hostages, on the contrary. So obviously "return of the hostage" is a simple mantra to which Israeli government pay some lip service.

Is taking sides in a war though. That’s why the Russian outlets push talking points. This can affect the public support on war efforts issues, which is fine only before shooting start because when no one is shooting arguments(which can be fair ones or designed to achieve something like withholding weapons deliveries) can be addressed in timely manner.

Whatever problems a website or an app is causing can be solved through civil means, but at a war time irreversible damage using deadly weapons can be done before even realizing it.
It's fine, the LLM AIs we have now are just fancy versions of autocorrect. They, and other LMs, guess at statistically probable words/datapoints, and because they don't understand context, you might need to put your thumb on the scales to make the output actually be useful. They're at best very janky tools as soon as you're working with things that require context that isn't easily contained in some kind of confined area of work.

Currently we are seeing the phenomenon 'habsburg AI' where AI's consume their own outputs as training data, which rapidly deteriorates their ability to actually be useful for much of anything.

The thing is that there literally isn't enough human-made data to keep feeding them (they already ate the entire internet), so if you both want to continue ramping their intake of data and you also don't want them to get rapidly weird and completely useless, you pretty much have to get in there with elbow grease. Removing or deprioritizing data that's tripping up the model is one of the few ways you can do human-assisted refinement of these things.

The sooner we all face the music that these things aren't magical truth machines, have a long way to go and there is no guaranteed rate of growth, the sooner this hype cycle can end.

> let's have a wee bit more protection, which rarely exists today, because thousands of people are dying needlessly every year

We add a wee bit more protection. Maybe it cuts the rate by 80%. Why do you think it is acceptable to stop adding protection? We've already added protections like that, the rate has already been cut 80%, and people are still saying it should drop.

You're applying a knee jerk algorithm - asking for increases in the controls every time you see something you don't like. That path ends with complete isolation of cars and pedestrians, ie, pedestrians and cars can't occupy anything that would reasonably be seen as the same space. Otherwise you'll keep seeing things you don't like and there will always be more that can be done.

There isn't any reason the rate has to be positive. We can ban pedestrians from being anywhere near cars. If you're not happy with this positive rate, what rate do you want and why? Or even how do you want it determined?

It uses the pressure altitude relative to the sea level pressure you configure in the plane (the altimeter in inHg / QNH). Above transition altitude (in the US usually 18000) you switch to standard pressure (29.92 inHg), so for those higher flight levels we ignore pressure differences. But for altitudes below this, yes you constantly have to change the altimeter in the plane or else your altitude / flight level chance / VNAV descent / climb will be incorrect. Of course you can always get the pressure by tuning into a ATIS / AWOS etc radio station for a nearby airport if you aren't getting the latest pressure from the ATC enroute.

GPS is usually not used for altitude.

Mutually Assured Backdoors
Perhaps I am not making myself clear here:

- RefCounted: It's like shared_ptr but refcount load/modify/store operation is not atomic, thus not thread-safe. No synchronization for pointed data.

- RefCountedThreadSafe: It's like shared_ptr. This means refcount load/modify/store is atomic, so has overhead, yet safe to pass across thread boundaries. Again, just like shared_ptr, no synchronization for pointed data.

- Locker class above: It's an (incomplete) wrapper around shared_ptr where read-only access goes through a shared lock and rw access goes through an exclusive lock. I suppose this is what rust's ARC guarantees at compile-time with less overhead the sketch above?

So;

> Both are true, Rust just has more restrictions.

No, both are not true, my understanding of ARC ~= Locker && ARC > shared_ptr

As a (mostly former) OSS maintainer, I don't want to be suspicious of any contributors. I want welcome contributors as co-maintainers.

It's already hard to enough to get people to contribute more than a README typo fix or maybe a single feature that they need themselves, and get them invested into the project as whole.

Somebody please create an alternative for keeping projects secure that's not based on suspicion and gatekeeping.

Bad news, many won't. Nasty side effect of review bombs is that people "forget" to update just as quickly as they start the drama.

> If someone barely get's a PR accepted, they probably lack the skills to add a sophisticated backdoor.

That's true, but it's also true that a sophisticated and well formed PR is probably genuine too. Hostile PRs are the exception rather than the rule. And if only the high quality PRs are treated with suspicion, then the attackers will tailor their approach to mimic novices. General vigilance is required, but failure is likely because these attacks are so rare that maintainers will grow weary of being paranoid about a threat they've never seen in years of suspicion and let their guard down.

I personally don't support blocking Al Jazeera. It's not that I'm a fan of them or any news station operated under a dictatorship without free press. It's clear that Al Jazeera acts as the propaganda wing of the Qatari government, and Qatar, being one of the main sponsors of Hamas, uses it to effectively spread Hamas propaganda. However, the real question is what does blocking them achieve. Does it stop their influence? No. Does it make them harder to watch here? No. Are the people advocating for their blockage even watching it? Likely not. It's mostly done because it's something the government can claim to have achieved for what remains of their base. I'm skeptical that the blocking of the website will actually occur, as it will probably be challenged in court.

Regardless, in a democracy, internet censorship is a slippery slope, and for that reason, I am against it in most cases.
I was addressing the NAT point. NAT itself is not a firewall, there are different implementations of NAT e.g. full cone NAT that are particularly bad if what you expect is a layer of stateful randomness.
And a firewall these days is not perfect either btw. if you can get your code to run on the client directly in some capacity.

Debian Testing and Unstable are mostly fine if you know what you are doing - you seem to have a clue. Security guidance is usually for people that need it - those that might not understand the full implications. Even for professionals it can be a useful reminder.
> The people or organizations making decisions to not protect pedestrians

That statement is both too generic and too specific. It's mainly driven by narrow sentiment, perhaps understandably since we're all pedestrians, especially the "choosing" part.

"Endangering" is very generic. Does a functionality in your software that could be beneficial to or facilitate endangering people but you chose not to disable it fit the assessment? Is E2EE helping criminals endanger people, or protecting honest people?

"Pedestrian" is too specific, there's nothing exceptional about pedestrians compared to any other mode of transportation so the statement above would need to be extended to "any decisions that did not protect people". And then it becomes very generic again.

JSON schema for energy consumption data
I work a lot with electricity data from smart meters. Typically downloaded from a retailer in csv/Excel format with some header metadata including meter identifier and each row with a record type identifier and 5/15/30 minute interval electricity consumption readings.

I'm doing a project at the moment with raw data from an innovative retailer's backoffice that I'm processing into the more standard format described above.

I'm going to use that data to provide various insights to the retailer for their customer programs.

Much of the analytics for this project and others is repetitive. Calculate annual/monthly/daily/weekend/weekday consumption, for example.

Processing multiple times datasets that don't change is a waste.

So I could store the calculated data in an intermediate format for later analytics.

A JSON schema would formalise this storage and facilitate interchange with other folks. And development of standardised tools.

I've spent several frustrating hours this afternoon looking for publicly available electricity consumption/metering data JSON schema. There's some private company stuff but would prefer it to be open.

I could define a schema and lodge with it with one of the public repositories. But if there's one already defined and publicly available that would save time.

We can, for sure. But will it works? Given my (admittedly limited) experience with feeding LLM-generated stuff back in the LLM, I'd suspect it may actually lower the output quality. But maybe fine-tuning for this specific work-case could be a solution to this problem, as I suspect the instruction-tuning to be a culprit in the poor behavior I've witnessed (the bots have been instruction-tuned to believe the human, and apologize if you tell them they've made mistakes for instance, even if they were right in the first place, so this blind trust is likely polluting the results).
